Safety RequirementsARRIS Telephony Modems comply with the applicable requirements forperformance, construction, labeling, and information when used asoutlined below:
• The Telephony Modem is designed to be connected directly toa telephone.
• Connecting the Telephony Modem to the home's existing tele-phone wiring should only be performed by a professional in-staller.
• Do not use product near water (i.e. wet basement, bathtub,sink or near a swimming pool, etc.), to avoid risk of electrocu-tion.
• Avoid using and/or connecting the equipment during an electri-cal storm, to avoid risk of electrocution.
• Do not locate the equipment within 6 feet (1.9 m) of a flame orignition source, to avoid damage or injury from battery explo-sion (i.e. heat registers, space heaters, fireplaces, etc.).
• Use only power supply and power cord included with the equip-ment.
• Equipment should be installed near the power outlet and shouldbe easily accessible. The coax drop cable’s shield must begrounded at the building/residence either close to the point ofentrance or at the point of attachment. It should be groundedas close as practical to the building/residence AC ground tominimize grounding connector length and thereby limit the po-
tential voltage differences between the cable TV coax cable andother grounding systems. Refer to the individual country’s Na-tional Electric Code for further details.
• In areas of high surge events or poor grounding situations andareas prone to lightning strikes, additional surge protectionmay be required (i.e. PF11VNT3 from American Power Conver-sion) on the AC, RF, Ethernet and Phone lines.
• When the Telephony Modem is connected to a local computerthrough USB or Ethernet cables, the computer must be proper-ly grounded to the building/residence AC ground network. Allplug-in cards within the computer must be properly installedand grounded to the computer frame per the manufacturer’sspecifications.
CAUTIONConnecting the Telephony Modem to the home's existing telephone wiring should only be performed by a professional installer. Physical connections to the previous telephone provider must be removed and the wiring must be checked; there must not be any voltages. Cancellation of telephone service is not adequate. Failure to do so may result in loss of service and/or permanent damage to the Telephony Modem.

Items You NeedIf you are installing the Telephony Modem yourself, make sure you have the follow-ing items on hand before continuing:
• Telephony modem package: see What’s in the Box? for a list of items inthe package.
• Coaxial cable (coax): as shown in the image to the left, this is a thin cablewith a connector on each end. It is the same kind of wire used to connectto your television for cable TV. You can buy coax from any electronics retailerand many discount stores; make sure it has connectors on both ends. Thereare two types of connectors, slip-on and screw-on; the screw-on connectorsare best for use with your Telephony Modem. The coax should be longenough to reach from your Telephony Modem to the nearest cable outlet.
• Phone Cable: as shown in the image to the left, this is a standard phonecable with standard phone connectors (RJ11 type) on both ends. You canbuy phone cables from any electronics retailer and many discount stores.
• Splitter (optional): provides an extra cable connection by splitting a singleoutlet into two. You may need a splitter if you have a TV already connectedto the cable outlet that you want to use. You can buy a splitter from anyelectronics retailer and most discount stores; you may also need a shortpiece of coax cable (with connectors); use it to connect the splitter to thecable outlet and then connect the Telephony Modem and TV to the splitter.
Note: A splitter effectively cuts the signal in half and sends each half to itstwo outputs. Using several splitters in a line may deteriorate the quality ofyour television, telephone, and/or internet connection.
• Information packet: your cable company should furnish you with a packetcontaining information about your service and how to set it up. Read thisinformation carefully and contact your cable company if you have any ques-tions.

Ethernet or USB?There are two ways to connect your computer (or other equipment) to the Telepho-ny Modem. The following will help you decide which is best for you:
EthernetEthernet is a standard method of connecting two or more computers into a LocalArea Network (LAN). Use the Ethernet connection if your computer has built-inEthernet hardware, does not use Windows, or you want to share the Telephony Mo-dem connection with several computers.
Note: To connect two or more computers to the Ethernet port, you will need ahub or broadband router (available at computer retailers).
The Telephony Modem package comes with a 6-foot (1.9m) Ethernet cable (theconnectors look like wide telephone connectors); you can purchase more cables ifnecessary at a computer retailer. If you are connecting the Telephony Modem di-rectly to a computer, or to an Ethernet hub or broadband router with a cross-overswitch, ask for Category 5 (CAT5) straight-through cable. If you are connecting theTelephony Modem to an Ethernet hub or broadband router without a crossoverswitch, ask for a Category 5 crossover cable.
USBUSB (Universal Serial Bus) is meant for connecting a variety of accessories, suchas keyboards, mice, printers, and communications devices (including TelephonyModems) to a single computer. Use the USB connection if you have only one com-puter, and the computer is using a Windows operating system (Windows 98 SecondEdition or later), and has no built-in Ethernet hardware. The Telephony Modempackage comes with a 5-foot (1.6m) USB cable.
BothIf you have two or more computers, you can connect one computer to the Telepho-ny Modem’s USB port and one or more other computers to the Ethernet port. Toconnect two or more computers to the Ethernet port, you will need a hub or broad-band router (available at computer retailers).
For more information about connecting two or more computers, contact your cableservice provider.

What About Security?Having a high-speed, always-on connection to the Internet requires a certainamount of responsibility to other Internet users—including the need to maintain areasonably secure system. While no system is 100% secure, you can use the fol-lowing tips to enhance your system’s security:
• Keep your operating system updated with the latest security patches. Runthe system update utility at least weekly.
• Keep your email program updated with the latest security patches. In addi-tion, avoid opening email containing attachments, or opening files sentthrough chat rooms, whenever possible.
• Install a virus checker and keep it updated.
• Avoid providing web or file-sharing services over your Telephony Modem.Besides certain vulnerability problems, most cable companies prohibit run-ning servers on consumer-level accounts and may suspend your account forviolating your terms of service.
• Use the cable company’s mail servers for sending email.
• Avoid using proxy software unless you are certain that it is not open forabuse by other Internet users (some are shipped open by default). Crimi-nals can take advantage of open proxies to hide their identity when breakinginto other computers or sending spam. If you have an open proxy, your ca-ble company may suspend your account to protect the rest of the network.
• If you connect your Telephony Modem to a wireless LAN, make sure you en-able security and encryption on the wireless hub (for the same reasons thatyou should run only secured proxies). Consult the documentation and tech-nical support of the wireless equipment provider for help.

TroubleshootingProblems and Solutions
The Telephony modem is plugged in, but the Power light is off.Check all power connections. Is the power cord plugged in firmly at bothends?
If you plugged the power cord into a power strip, make sure the strip isswitched on.
Avoid using an outlet controlled by a wall switch, if possible.
Finally, check the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
I’m not getting on the Internet.It may take over 30 minutes to establish a connection the first time youpower up your Telephony Modem, especially when many people are online.Always leave your Telephony Modem plugged into AC power and connectedto the cable system.
Check the front panel lights:
• The Power and Online lights should be on.
• The Link light should be either on or blinking.
• If the Power light blinks for more than 30 minutes, call your cablecompany for assistance.
Check your cable connections. Connectors should be finger-tight. The coaxcable should not be pinched, kinked, or bent sharply—any of these cancause a break or short in the cable (you may have to replace the cable). Ifyou have one or more splitters between the Telephony Modem and CATVoutlet, remove the splitters and connect the Telephony Modem directly tothe outlet.
Proceed to the Ethernet or USB solutions (next page) if necessary.
